Thought I'd share this. Brian Brake was one of NZ's most eminent photographers. He spent a lot of time overseas but also took some incredible photos of NZ as well from landscapes to "slice of life" images. His most famous images were taken for "life" magazine, particularly the "Monsoon" series (which has given me really itchy feet and made me want to go to India even more ) Check his work out of you get a minute.
